Here We Go Magic are in the midst of their European tour, finishing up an incredibly successful year in support of A Different Ship. Consequence of Sound share a bit of a gem; they recently got Here We Go Magic in the studio for one of their Off the Avenue sessions. Watch them perform “A Different Ship,” “I Believe in Action” and “Make Up Your Mind” above!

The fun does not stop there! The fine folks behind Les inRocks lured Luke and Pete into a fine game of foosball and then sat them down for a chat to learn exactly how these two became interested in music. The video ends with a live performance at Paris’s Divan Du Monde for the festival. Catch up with one-half of HWGM – watch the video HERE.

Here We Go Magic spend the remainder of this week at the best of the UK’s stadiums, playing in support of Elbow. You will find all their dates HERE.

Premiering today at Stereogum, the new Here We Go Magic video is the most recent work to come our way from long-time HWGM collaborators, filmmakers Nat Livingston Johnson & Gregory Mitnick of Peking. It’s for the single “Hard To Be Close,” off HWGM’s A Different Ship. Starring Chuck Stern of NYC Public Access show Roboshithead, the video follows three dudes (and their emotional rollercoaster) through a millenia of being stuck in an elevator. Enjoy above.

Here We Go Magic head back out on tour later this month with a free (with RSVP) show at Brooklyn Bowl. After a few dates on the East Coast, they’ll head to the Midwest for Midpoint Music Festival and to also tour with Andrew Bird. See all dates below.

Currently on a brief break from touring, Here We Go Magic made some time to stop in at WNYE for a live session on The Alternate Side. Luke, Michael and Pete are joined by new members of their touring band, Eliot Krimsky and Brian Bettancourt, for a four-song performance of tracks you’ll recognize from their latest release, A Different Ship. Watch “I Believe In Action” above and head to TAS for more videos and an interview with the band, which also airs this Friday, August 24 on 91.5 WNYE at 11 a.m. EDT.

It’s such a treat for a SC artist to play Paris, as we can always count on photographer Helene Peruzzaro to provide the best live photos. She caught Here We Go Magic at their Le Trabendo show earlier this year. You’ll find the gorgeous photos at Hartzine.

Here We Go Magic head back out on the road in September for US dates supporting Andrew Bird. They will then head back to Europe for shows throughout November. Dates and ticket links HERE.
